Hi,

As-is, it's cumbersome to share custom transformers developed with Python, as there's no provision for adding the separate code files.

My suggestion is to add some tags to the FMX file format for embedding the Python code directly in the FMX file, and have FME extract and compile such code on load or runtime.

The current FMX file has tags "TEMPLATE_START" and "TEMPLATE_END" for mapping file content, so how about adding some "PYTHON_START" and "PYTHON_END" tags for this ?

It might also be prudent to add some sort of Python version switch.

Cheers

I'm not a big fan of typing all my code directly in the PythonCaller/Creator, but why would the above be much different from that approach? I mean, your code is then also stored in the FMX.

You can't define a user interface in a PythonCaller.

Any user can now upload an FME Package to the FME Hub. FME Packages provide a way to build and share custom Python-based integrations that work with FME. We are redesigning FME Hub and this will be integrated more deeply into the product.

 

For now, you can access the documentation here: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/fpkg-sdk/
